so far, have many more creatures to devourer

Sainsbury's stocked these for a while
Those duckinbolied egg things look a bit but I would probably try them, as well as those wafer thin sparrows seen on Top Gear.

Scorpion and crickets are the weirdest, also odd looking bits of fish in Singapore.

Speaking of Singapore - durians smell like st, don't they.

God yeah, picked one up when I was in Sri Lanka... took it back to the hotel with me, and you should have seen the looks of horror on the receptionists faces when they saw it tucked under my arm!

Weirdest thing I've eaten recently... zebra. Pic to follow in other thread.

I was presented with a huge platter of nothing but Ducks Tongues in China......

[patmahe]

All of mine have already been mentioned but here it goes anyway:

Kangaroo - Yum
Crocodile - Not so Yum
Horse meat - Yum

I china now had rape seed plant and the unusual duck stomach etc I will keep you posted oh yes the only thing that has ever made cringe was sea urchin after seeing it being prepared (in Japan)

Just had swim bladder's of fish and elves (baby eels) dead, but with copious amounts of bum burning chilly

i'm fascinated every time you post about your china adventures - i spent a month there and thought i'd experienced a lot, but nothing like what you've been faced with! so how did the bladders and eels taste?

Really... I flew into Chengdu, before starting my journey but only spent a day or so there. I ate with my co workers a lot, but the breakdown in comms meant i never exactly knew what i was getting for my lunch/dinner.
Well keep the stories coming, how much longer are you there for?

Just finished leaving on Sunday if you had hot pot then you ate a number of things you wont like the sound off. I worked in chengdu 16 years ago for 5 weeks I had scorpion then and the interpreter was female and could not tell me what one of the items was in the pot

Oh yes, the hotpot I'm not picky with food, as long as it tastes nice, I won't get hung up on what part of what animal it is... however, cows stomach - not very nice at all
